Western Caspian University's policy on renewable energy was updated by Scientific Council
on 08.006.2021 with the № 8
Commitment 1. Usage of clean and affordable energy
- Conducting scientific research to use renewable, affordable and clean energy (solar, wind, etc.);
- Use efficient and environmentally friendly materials in new educational buildings or infrastructure projects, and involvement in environmental protection;
- Targets about widespread use of solar panels and reducing the amount of energy used by 10%;
- Supporting renewable energy Startup projects.
Commitment 2. Infrastructure projects
- Identification of sources of heat, waste and energy consumption at the wrong time and application of smart electronic systems;
- Renovation surrondings areas of educational buildings, construction of renewable energy laboratories and equipment;
- Application and research of new energy vectors, heat storage and clean cooling technologies suitable for infrastructure;
- Applying smart electrical systems; (corridors and lighting system surrondings areas of the buildings);
- Preparing educational materials and organizing regular events.
Commitment 3. Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
- Insulation of roofs and facades at the buildings;
- To increase the number of LED lamps; (application of daylight sensitive systems)
- To use double-paned windows at the buildings;
- Carrying out regular cleaning works within and outside educational buildings.
Commitment 4. Providing educational and scientific knowledge
- To increase the number of classes open to the public;
- To exchange views with local farmers about the benefits of clean energy;
- To organize seminars, conferences and webinars open for public with local and international organizations
